KEYE-TV News

KEYE began life as KBVO in 1982, and became affiliated with the Fox Network when it began a few years later. With the sale of KTBC to Fox Broadcasting in 1995, KBVO’s owner, Granite Broadcasting, agreed to swap networks. As part of the change process, KBVO was rechristened KEYE, the letters EYE being a pun for the CBS’s giant Eye symbol. In 2000, Granite Broadcasting decided to sell several of its stations, including KEYE.

The station was officially sold a few monts later to the CBS network itself, which owns its flagship stations in New York and Los Angeles, as well as in Dallas and several other major markets. Two of KEYE’s former anchors have gone on to networked programmes, like NBC’s “Access Hollywood.” Weekend anchor Shaun Robinson joined their team immediately after leaving KEYE. Another Hollywood reporter, Jason Feinberg of the E! Network, came to that channel from “The EYE.”
